Can you be a good 2-6 team ?

Think about it, I swear we have to be the best 2-6 team (on paper) in the history of the league. Our overall offense and defense is better statiscally this year than last year.

We're in the top 10 in overall offense.
We're in the top 10 in overall defense.
We're in the top 10 in passing offense.
We're in the top 10 in passing defense.
I believe in the top 15 in running defense.

This team is full of pro bowlers, full of great athletes, a super bowl winning team, yet we continue to excel in the worst statistic at all. We are -11 in the turnover ratio. We're in a funk that is real, its evident, we are a losing football team right now and until we suck it up and get over it, its not going to get anybetter.

CBS put this stat up during the game and it's really hard to swallow! You have the best offense, the best defense but yet you are only good enough to get 2 wins on the season through 9 weeks of football.

Mentioning the turnovers is an easy way to kill a topic right now though... a -11 ratio is unexplainable and uncalled for, these guys get paid to hang onto the ball!

I would agree with that because on any day we could beat a team like the Colts or Bears because we have the talent. The Browns don't have the talent and thats why their record is bad but we do, we're just not always taking advantage of it.

Well bad teams turn the ball over and commit stupid penalities. The Steelers have been consistent with those two every game. Again those same mistakes reflect coaching or the lack of it. The inmates are running the prison in the Steel City. I never thought I would see a Bill Cowher team like this. Hit the road please. You had a great run as the Steelers coach and I'm thankful for which you did. But its time for a change. I think a fresh message would be very nice for the players.

You guys have hit all the points right on the mark. This is why I enjoy this site so much, so much knowledge in this forum that we all could actually be a network that could blow all three networks out of the clear blue. We need to look into starting our own NFL Network cater to the fans.

At this point I don't know the inmates are running it any more than I think BC is running it either. It seems like the total team is in chaos. They don't know what to do with themselves anymore. Half of them are depressed, the other half is pissed off, some of them don't show any emotion at all.

Yes he's lost control of the team from a disciplinary standpoint, that much is evident..Im just saying if the players actually got their act together on the field things would be different. BC can't make them hold onto the ball or not throw an interception no matter how much he drills it into their heads. It's up to them to go out and do their jobs. If you call that the inmates running the asylum then I would agree with you...but I call it nobody running it.
